Chapter 1224 Aerialia's Injured Divine Soul, It's A Good Idea!

Chapter 1224  Aerialia's Injured Divine Soul, It's A Good Idea!

"Thanks to her terrifying regenerative abilities, her injuries have already healed. The only issue is that her divine soul is currently nurturing another, whom I believe to be the goddess Aerialia. That's why she hasn't awakened yet," Ilse explained.

Reena nodded in understanding, though her expression was still worried and concerned. Despite her extraordinary powers, Liora was one of the calmest children they cared for. However, after being separated from her mother for some time, she began to display bursts of uncontrollable emotions, which they would've struggled to handle without Grace's help. Reena hoped her sister would wake up soon so neither of them would have to worry anymore.

Orion nodded in understanding. "Since she isn't injured, let's give her some space. She will recover in time and awaken," he said. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Aurora's hand swiftly grabbed his, causing him to stop. Orion refocused on Aurora.

Aurora opened her eyes and looked at him with a weary smile. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about my health." Her expression then shifted to concern. "However, I'm not sure if Mother will be able to fully recover from her severe injuries."

Aerialia had strained and injured her divine soul during her confrontation with the goddesses and her clash against the Divine Corps, leaving her immobilized and needing full recovery before she could move again. It was a miracle that she had managed to hold on and protect them for so long.

Orion tightened his grip on Aurora's hand and replied, "Nothing will happen to Aerialia. No matter how bad things get, we'll find a way out. So stay calm." His heart ached, seeing her weary and guilty expression.

Turning to Ilse, Orion asked, "Is there any way to accelerate the healing process of Aerialia's divine soul?"

"I have some treasures that might help, but their effects are slow, painful, or could have side effects. Don't ask for a natural method; that's like wanting to compress the fabric of space into a river. There are no natural ways to heal a divine soul," Ilse responded, shaking her head. "Also, using them in this situation might also affect Aurora. But it's better than nothing, so I won't stop you from trying." She reached into a ripple of space radiating a golden hue, but Aurora interrupted, halting her movement.

"Mother still intends to use her divine soul to reforge her Divine Embryonic seed, so we should avoid doing anything that might harm her further. Besides, I believe I'll be able to help her recover without causing any harm to her divine soul," Aurora said, shaking her head in disagreement.

"Alright, if you're certain, then we'll do as you say," Orion responded with a firm nod. After hearing that using treasures might have side effects on Aerialia and potentially affect Aurora, he rejected the idea. He was sure neither Aurora nor Aerialia would want that. Nonetheless, his mind continued racing, searching for a solution to their dilemma.

"Liora has been doing okay, but she's starting to miss you. I hope you recover soon," Reena said, leaning in and gently kissing her forehead.

"I'll do my best to recover swiftly. But until then, you'll all have to keep taking care of Liora for me," Aurora responded with a smile and a nod.

"We will," Reena replied with a reassuring nod.

Orion created a fragment of the Divine Medallion of Sovereign Accord around Aurora's neck.

"What's this?" Aurora asked, looking at the beautiful medallion around her neck.

"This will help you inform us quickly if you encounter problems or need anything. Also, I've made sure it contains everything that has transpired. You should go through it and catch up on everything you missed," Orion explained.

Aurora nodded in understanding. Sensing that the mysterious artefact was already bonded to her, she poured her divine power into it. In an instant, memories upon memories of recent events that Orion had recorded gently flowed into her mind. As Aurora processed them, her expression shifted from shock to excitement and disbelief and back to shock. Her reactions continued to change until she reached the point of General Reynolds and Oberon's creation of new Mysteries.

Once Aurora finished, she could only stare blankly at them.

A Divine Mandate!

The birth of new Mysteries and so much more…

Despite the time within the Golden Palace being far longer than outside, she had only been asleep for four days, yet all these transformative, surprising and drastic changes had occurred. She couldn't help but think that if she were to go unconscious for an extended period, she would have to catch up on everything that had happened.

Fortunately, with the help of Orion's divine mandate fragments, she had been able to witness everything as if she had been there when it happened.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she focused on Orion.

"Is the localized Will of this new Mystery still with Grace?" Aurora asked, her mind racing.

"Yes, she is," Orion responded, furrowing his brows, wondering why she was asking.

"I think I might have an idea. If the tree nymph is truly connected to the new Mysteries, she can heal mother's divine soul to full health. It shouldn't be impossible for the Will of this new Mysteries to accomplish such a feat, right?" Aurora asked. She spoke based on her experience with the Divine Mysteries, who had given her a trial to complete, so she was no longer a failed copy of the original.

Hearing her words, all three of them wore contemplative expressions.

"That could work, but it's too dangerous. Considering she doesn't remember who she was, we don't know if she'll be able to precisely control her powers to heal goddess Aerialia's divine soul," Ilse said thoughtfully.

"Then it's settled. We have no choice but to go to the sundial and ask for their help," Orion said, his expression serious.

"Is that really a good idea?" Reena asked, her voice filled with worry. She knew that goddess Aerialia and General Reynold were not on good terms, and the only reason he had ensured Paradise's safety was due to Oberon's reasoning and Orion's involvement.

She feared what might happen if the two of them met again—would General Reynold refuse to heal Aerialia, prevent Oberon from helping her, or worse, try to eliminate her this time?

Ilse frowned as she understood the implications as well. Even if everything went smoothly, she couldn't help but wonder if Aerialia would accept such help when she woke up.

Meanwhile, Aurora remained silent. She held no enmity toward General Reynold and hoped he would help her mother recover. She also wished her mother would forgive what had happened in the past.

"I'm not sure, but I'll go and speak with them first. Hopefully, he can put his enmity with Aerialia aside and heal her so Paradise can gain another divine being," Orion said with a steady gaze. He leaned down and kissed Aurora's lips. "I'll be back soon," he said before disappearing.

"I'll be leaving so you two can have your privacy," Ilse said, nodding to both of them before disappearing, leaving only Aurora and Reena in the room. She wanted some time to clear her mind about what had transpired and wasn't interested in whatever they would discuss.

….….

Orion appeared within the Village Chief's compound and stood before the enormous sundial. He had cloaked his presence, ensuring no one knew he was there. He placed his hand on the sundial and was pulled into it again without stirring the White Flame ember burning vigorously within him.

Two hours later, Orion reemerged from the sundial, his expression filled with excitement. Although it took considerable time to convince General Reynold to help heal Aerialia's Divine Soul, the result was worth the effort.

In an instant, Orion disappeared from the Village Chief's compound without a trace.

....

Orion swiftly returned to the Golden Palace and reappeared in Aurora's room.

Aurora was still lying on the bed, with Reena sitting beside her. They halted their conversation when Orion arrived, looking at him with expectant faces.

Sensing Orion's return, Ilse also swiftly appeared before them. Her gaze swept across the room before focusing on Orion with a curious glint in her eyes.

"How did it go?" Aurora asked, her intense gaze fixed on him.

A wide smile spread across Orion's face as he replied, "General Reynold has agreed to help heal Aerialia's divine soul. But he will only do so on one condition." As he finished his sentence, he let out a tired sigh.

'I knew it,' Ilse thought, shaking her head and sighing in resignation.

Aurora and Reena frowned upon hearing his words but couldn't help raising their brows when they noticed the shyness and embarrassment creeping onto their husband's face—emotions he was trying to suppress.

"What is the condition?" Aurora asked, her brow raised. With Orion and Oberon backing him, she didn't believe they would allow Aerialia to suffer an unacceptable or harmful condition. "He said that he will only do so on the condition that..."
